Sandals & Beaches Resorts/Caribbean
If the previous posts have not been enough, maybe seeing a mix of the variety of offerings for weddings, honeymoons, vacations at the Resorts through to the food/entertainment/setups, wonderful oceans/pools at all, maybe seeing a bunch of pics together will help. Love to get you there. I have been a Certified Sandals Specialist for 15 years, have been to all the resorts multi times, it’s the same fee to book with me as to book direct with Sandals, but you get my ‘personal’ service, for honeymoons/vacations, and if wanting to do a Destination Wedding i can help with all the planning AND be there to keep things smooth/stress free for you at the Resort for just the cost of my accommodation for 5 nights. Let’s do it, right now everyone needs a safe getaway and warmth, and for some of you you just want to get married, and you can, whether just the two of you (free wedding with a minimum 3 night stay) or a small or large group going with you to celebrate ( you can do your wedding at Beaches/family resorts if some of the guests or you have children attending, then honeymoon at a Sandals or if all adults and some are staying at other resorts you can pay for them to attend your wedding at Sandals). Antigua, Bahamas/Nassau+Exuma, Barbadoa, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, Turks & Caicos/Beaches family or couples resorts, and coming soon, the beautiful islands of St Vincent & the Grenadines, and Curacao, all of which i have also been to (not Sandals/Beaches obviously, lol).
Till next time

Don’t worry, be happy
And here at Rick’s Place/very famous, just a boat or taxi ride from Sandals Negril, you can do that!!
I had long wanted to go as i had seen Rick’s place on travel shows, and the music/bands, people jumping off cliffs just seemed like a good time, and it was!! So for all my travellers to Negril, we make sure they get there.
Pre and post your trip to Rick’s place though, you get to enjoy the calm/serenity and beauty of Sandals Negril. A lovely resort that doesn’t feel large, sits on the best beach in Jamaica, in Negril, great food and views!!
I was there just after these swim up rooms had opened and this was where i spent my time
Unless i was at the other end of the resort enjoying a gorgeous sunset dinner.
Let’s get you here for your honeymoon, vacation, or how about a destination wedding.
Same price with me as going direct with Sandals, no fee for my service!! I have been a Certified Sandals Specialist for 15 years and have been to the resorts multi times, so you are in great hands with me!!
Till next time

Have a Caribbean wedding
Well i am happy to report that you don’t have to give up your dream wedding vision for either just the two of you or an intimate group, or a large group, due to your original plan being dashed by covid rules/concerns that don’t seem to be getting under control. Come to either the Sandals or Beaches Resorts in the Caribbean
It’s never been safer to fly i feel with everyone wiping everything down/masks etc, and the Caribbean Islands have done an excellent job of keeping covid down and the resorts also. Sandals & Beaches have a huge protocol of cleanliness program which everyone i have sent down since June have said, how safe they felt and free of fear.
These pics are a range of weddings i have seen set up when i have been on property or been a part of, so you can see the sky is the limit as to what is right for you!
Let’s do it, still time for the end of 2020 if you want to elope or have a small group, or let’s get you booked for 2021 and get the rest of your lives started sooner than later xoxoxox
Till next time

Jamaica All Butler Sandals Resort
I LOVE this resort. Everyone has a butler, it has a beautiful boutique, quiet feel, all rooms have ocean views, and you can go to the other Sandals & Beaches Resorts in the same area and hang out/eat/enjoy the amenities, where they can not come to your resort!!!
There is also a Villa with a private chef/private pool etc that you never need to leave if you prefer!!!
Let’s do your Destination Wedding here, just the two of you or a group, I can help you, or vacation/honeymoon/babymoon, whatever you are wanting, I can help make it happen!
Till next time

Sandals Montego Bay Jamaica
Well today seems like a great day to post about this property, as one of my couples just arrived there today for their babymoon and will get to enjoy their swim out room and this resort that is like new, as well as the Royal Caribbean just down the road. Above is the lobby. When i first visited this resort in 2005 this was the entertainment room and the ceiling was like a puffy circus tent and it was, well, kind of cheesy!! This was the original Sandals Resort and it was definitely tired. Since then i came back in 2016/17 and got to see the change starting and in 18/19 to see it now complete. The entertainment room is now the lobby and the first thing you see when you walk in is the beautiful blue ocean through the other side and it just draws you in. The resort is now hip/cool and a great spot to hang/vacay and there are fun things to do in Montego Bay area if you want to leave the resort!
this area is right through that lobby door, a great seating area to have a mocktail or cocktail and look at that ocean and enjoy the sea breeze.
this was my room on my last stay and the view looking down the path back towards the lobby/restaurant/main action area.
One of the swim out butler rooms with ocean view, and there is now a new block with swim out rooms with garden surrounds, a great use of a back block of rooms that will now make them very wanted!!
This is a bar surrounded by a pool with a mini lazy river, very relaxing with that cocktail in hand, yes i did!!
And guess what, right now all rooms at Montego Bay get a private transfer in a luxury vehicle, no idea for how long, but for new bookings, so call/email/text/dm, whatever you need to do, let’s get you there, most of the world is closed to American’s now and for who knows how long, so if you are looking to vacay, honeymoon or even if you wedding plans were ruined due to Covid, lets get the two of you there or a small or large group of you and do the wedding right here!!
Till next time

Sandals Bahamas
I have been to the Bahamas around 10 times, and spent two of those trips right here at Sandals, minutes from downtown Nassau. Its a lovely property with a private island, where i spend most of my time, reading/hanging out/relaxing/swimming/massaging!
Can you see why i like the private island, the pics above from the boat to here are all there, no one in sight, so calm
This was the view from my last room, above and below, looking at the pool for the action and then pivot to the right and it was all ocean looking over to the private island
On my last trip i did a duo, spent some time in Nassau and then flew to Exuma and spent time at the Sandals there, so relaxing and the water is amazing. If you are a golfer, this is a bucket list trip as you are playing right along the ocean so spectacular views while playing and of course a Jack Nicolas course
It was a bit stormy while there but the water was still beautiful blue
Meanwhile back in Nassau…. above and below
With certain butler rooms at Sandals Nassau/Royal, you get picked up at the airport and taken back in a Bentley or fancy Mercedes, that’s the way to arrive in style and not be too sad about leaving, right!
Let me get you there

Southcoast Sandals/Jamaica
I first visited this resort right as it was opening, and loved it. Quiet/spread out, all rooms have a view of the water!! Had not been back, so it was long overdue.
The first overwater bar Sandals had and a great spot to have a drink it was!! And one of the signature large Sandals pools, it was nearly empty every time i enjoyed it.
I was there as they were breaking ground for the overwaters, very exciting. If you are looking for calm/relaxing and more beach than you could use, this is the resort for you!

Sandals Grenada
This is the newest addition to the Sandals Family. I had missed a couple of fam trips but got to go with my husband end of 2018 and was really pleased I got to experience a vacation there with him, not working, lol. this was the view from our 2 level suite, looking down on the pool from the swim out rooms, across the resort to that beautiful caribbean.
We actually left the resort (sometimes we don’t on our trips) and the view above is the downtown area, we went on a snorkelling trip to see the famous circle of friends an underwater sculpture, very cool.
The pic above is one of the suites with their own infinity pool and awesome views. i have had couples honeymoon right here in these and they raved about it.
As always the grounds/flowers are beautiful to walk around/enjoy
the pic above and below is one of the rondoval suites with their own jacuzzi and plunge pool, very popular, and cool
Lots of places to sit, relax and just enjoy, around this really intimate resort
This is what you normally see pics of from this resort, the seating area inside the pool where you don’t get wet to be there/enjoy
Let’s think Destination wedding or Vow Renewal, should we??
A Butch’s chophouse can be found here (Barbados is great because you can do the chophouse and steakhouse there), and the atmosphere and food is … yuuuum
Always an English Pub at each resort, great for just hanging out
My fave cocktail, banana and chocolate and cream, yeahhhhhhhhhh
Ok, realising it’s now 7 months since i have travelled to the Caribbean due to Coronavirus, I am realising its time to go back, soon Lisa, soon
Till next time

Ochi Rios – 2 Resorts
So the resort that starts with the least expensive room options of all the Sandals Resorts happens to be in Jamaica and in Ochi Rios. The hub for cruise ships, Dunns River Falls, town, activities, so how lucky are you. Above was my last room at the Sandals where i was in a butler villa, attached to another, where we had a lovely pool to share, I never saw the other couple.
Lovely beach/sand/restaurant options and activities at the base of the resort.
If you were 2 couples travelling together where i stayed last trip would be perfect as you just open up the living/lounge area in-between the 2 bedrooms to enjoy but yet you have your own privacy/space as the bedrooms are at each end.
Of course one of the largest signature Sandals Pools would be at this Sandals, its quite the party hardy resort if you want to partake.
You could also have ocean view rooms in the tower next to the ocean and be on that beach very fast every day
On the pic above, those wee huts are massage or private dinner huts!!
Then for the families, or groups or friends (that don’t want to share a bed at Sandals) in Ochi Rios is one of the Beaches Resorts. Different villages/styles of accommodations to suit your style as always, budget, and size of your group. My fave is the Greek Village.
View from a Greek Village patio
2 beaches to enjoy, busy side and quiet side
Looking along one of the rows of Greek Village rooms, it’s 3 levels. Also the Sesame Street characters are all around to add excitement to the kids vacay, and you adults do get to vacay too, they have kids programs from only a few months old up until late teens, so mom/dad, grandparents, can do some adulting, quiet time, fine dining, spa etc.
Huge pool and water slide action for the kids at Beaches and then back to Sandals where there is a big easy, you go into the Rabbit Hole and must know the password!!
Inside the Rabbit Hole, and the big pool at Sandals Ochi at night
Really pretty lobby area at the upper area of Sandals Ochi. For those staying at Sandals Ochi, you can catch a cab if you want and head over to Beaches to dine/hang out there, something tells me it won’t take long and you will be back to all the options of what/where/how at Sandals Ochi.
Let me get you there. Everyone deserves a vacation, honeymoon, or lets do your destination wedding at Beaches, where everyone can attend, then the B&G head to one of the quiet/private butler suites at Sandals Ochi where you never have to leave your suite or even hop on a plane and head to a Sandals Resort on another island!!!

Jamaica overwater bungalows-Sandals
Did you know you don’t have to go to Tahiti to find overwater bungalows??!! Well you don’t, I have been selling Sandals all-inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean since 2005 and a couple of years ago they were the first resorts in the Caribbean to add overwater bungalows. The first ones were at the Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay, and i was very fortunate to be there with a small group of wedding planners that sell Sandals and we were lucky enough to be able to get a quick 10 mins in one between the cleaning from a checked out guest ending to a new couple arriving at the resort to go in. These have been sold out from the minute they hit the market, so successful were they that they were added to another Jamaica resort and in St Lucia, more on those resorts in another post.
The pics above are what you see when your butler opens your door to the villa and the balcony area with your own plunge pool, 3 levels of deck for enjoying , an outdoor shower, lots of seating including a fab big round flat swing you can lie on and just enjoy the view.
The bathroom and outdoor shower areas, yes, i would use all the above, lol
Decisions decisions, swim in your own plunge pool or the ocean??!!
Lets do dinner on the lower deck, closer to the ocean tonight honey xoxx
Think i will take that stairway to heaven….
Should we nap on the netting and fall asleep looking at the wee fish below or you can swing me to sleep on the swing? I’m the one covered in pillows, lol
You are picked up at Montego Bay airport and have a luxury vehicle private transfer to the airport where your butler meets you, then escorts you to the boat for your transfer to the island where the overwater villas and bungalows are off of. You have access to the island where there is a restaurant, pool, lots of lovely beach, but the rest of the resort guests who can access the island via a larger boat transfer are not allowed to come down the pier where the overwaters are, so you are very very exclusive.
My fave place would be the lower deck sitting in those bucket seats reading and sipping my champagne and saying, how lucky am I. aaaahhhhhhhhhh
The pic with the crane is the overwater bungalows starting to be built at the other Jamaican Sandals Resort lucky enough to get them.
The guests on the main part of the resort look over and wish and wonder!
the glass to the water at the foot of the bed gives a beautiful light in your villa all night.
View from the bedroom area
This resort has 2 options for the overwaters, one with the big deck/plunge pool, referred to as Villas, and a 2nd with smaller interior and deck and a soaking tub referred to as a bunglow. I had one couple last year spend 8 nights in a bungalow overwater, they would have stayed in the Villa but they were not available-just fyi they are always sold out/first to go, its amazing. Even getting 8 nights in the Bungalow was hard, they were flexible with their dates and had to actually spend a night prior to going out to the bungalow in a suite on the main land part of the resort. When i go looking for rooms those 2 room types are always the ones showing big red SOLD OUTs on them!!
Remember with Sandals it’s all inclusive, airport transfers are included, all food/beverage, resort activities and entertainment, resort snorkeling and if you dive resort diving, if not certified you can get certified quickly and for a low cost in 1/2 a day and then enjoy all that free diving, and with this resort you are just down the street from the Sandals Montego Bay Resort and there are shuttles you can catch to go back and forth, so you can enjoy all the amenities and restaurants/bar/lounges over there as well, and there is no extra charge, all included. Pay for 1, stay/play at 2. there are also excursions and activities off resort that can be arranged for you too, so you don’t get there and waste time trying to work out what else you may want to do.
Call, email me, let’s get your vacation, honeymoon, group trip, destination wedding planned in Jamaica at one of the Sandals Resorts or on any of the other 5 Caribbean islands they have Sandals or Turks & Caicos where we have a Beaches Resort, for families, or friends that don’t want to share a bed at a Sandals!
Till next time
